Who Should I Start? Michael Pittman Jr. or Ricky Pearsall

Tuesday, October 28, 7:35 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. continued his strong start to the season in a 38-14 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. Pittman caught eight of his nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the win, setting season highs in catches, targets, and receiving yards. The veteran wideout has been a dominant red-zone target this season, catching six touchdowns in eight games for the Colts. Overall, Pittman has caught 43 passes for 446 yards while operating as the team's No. 1 receiver. Pittman will remain a rock-solid WR2 heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Pearsall continues struggling to recover from a knee issue that has kept him sidelined since he suffered the injury Week 4. The 49ers haven't given a clear timetable on Pearsall, but they haven't placed him on the injured reserve. That being said, Pearsall figures to return sooner rather than later. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates throughout the week. However, the fact Pearsall isn't even limited in practice isn't a good sign heading into the Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants.
